Hey everyone. This is a general AI question and the forums looked pretty specific and I hate cross posters as much as the next person so I decided to post here in the Dump (that sounds funny. Tha Dump).

Anyways I was just wondering is there was an article or something on an AI roadmap. I want to make a lot of demos I could submit to an employer but I'm still trying to figure out what type of demos to do and in what order. I know I should cover the basics, by making a demo that utilizes FSMs, but are there any subsets of FSMs I can break it down into?

Anyways I'm just looking for a list of demos I should make showcasing various AI techniques, both previously known and some I've thought up myself. Any ideas?

I take it you're interested in getting into the gaming industry...

Places to start:

- Finite State Machines
- Expert Systems
- Path Finding
- Fuzzy Logic Interpreter

Things that will be 'in' very soon:

- Hierarchical FSM
- Level of detail AI
- Non-deterministic Scripting
- Learning
- Embedded Agents
- Planning
- Emotions

Phew... a lot of stuff to do. Let me know if you want more details!

Hello,

There is some really interesting papers about AI in games and the rule of games in AI:

This looks like a good base to start from, thanx a bunch. Feels weird being a newbie all over again :)

oh, this post on annotated AI may be of interest to all you people here.

Isn't it great? It's a bit like a toddler paddling in the first few feet of the ocean, staring into the waves wondering what lies beyond, and if he has enough energy to get to the horizon!

Wow, that was very poetic ;)

Um... sure. Whatever you say Alex. Riiiight ;)

hi,

did you get answers for your request? I would also be interested.

thanks,

O.

Hi dear,
I am the one like you and want to be your friend as both of us are willing to make research and career in AI.

I am MCA (Master in Computer Application) final year.
I don't know lot much about AI, I am to begin.
And I will make it.

As you are having questions in mind about AI career (with ref. to your ai-depot message), same I have.

Rest can be continued if you are willing to respond me (may we both can help each other and have ideas).

Thank you.
